Rafa net spend on his squad while he's been there is beaten only by iirc City and Chelsea. He may well be a good coach but there's more to a manager than that. Keane is one example, Aquilani for the amount of money is a flop yes. Just look at Liverpool's current squad, for a net spend of around ?110m. He essentially only won things with players he inherited, since then, when it's been his team, nothing. I like Liverpool, I think English footie is better with a good Liverpool, and I think Rafa moving on is good news for all concerned.

Can you out of that lot?
